How to turn a piece of coal into a black diamond...

Operation Coal into a black diamond!


Client brought in his hammered 911 for some correction and protection. The paint looked grey, not black from all the defects. Completely covered in heavy swirls, holograms, scratches, road blast pitting (on hood) some crazing/cracking of the clear/beginning of clear failure, haze, water spot etching, you name it…it had it.
It’s not perfect…but oh so much better!



The ‘details’:

Adam’s strip wash
Medium clay alternative mitt
Adam’s wheel cleaner
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner

Damn Scott, that’s almost as bad as that truck you did a little while back. Great save!

[Sizzle Chest]

Thank you kind sir!

[01GreyStangGT]

Swirls-plenty! Great rescue.

What an amazing save! I would’ve loved to see the look on the owners face when he picked it up, I bet he’s still gazing at it at home!

That’s great man. That paint was Hammered! I’m sure it was really satisfying especially with it being black. Love the outdoor pics especially the last 1.[emoji1417]

[2black1s]

Excellent! As is typical coming from your garage.

[TTQ B4U]

now THAT'S a turn-around. Nicely done. I know the love-hate that job likely was. Rewarding but loads of work. I might ask a favor if I could regarding one of the before shots. I'll message you.

[Markymapo]

Always look forward to your Porsche posts, nice work ! I am still waiting on my Carrera S ( Nov delivery if they find the needed chips)

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks everyone! He was very happy with the final product! Couldn't believe it, I was happy!

It was a bit of work, but it was very enjoyable and rewarding getting to see the paint respond. 3 steps on most panels was the ticket!

Marky-I look forward to pics when you receive it! (I know most of the GT3's are being held up...due to TPMS modules!)

[TMQ]

Lordy Scott...must be reason they call you Mr Sizzle Chest!

Damn great work there!

Tom

Looks like they washed it with a brillo pad[emoji37].

Amazing. That deserves a spot in the Best Top 10 Paint Corrections HOF. Great job. Another great "turn-around".
